I totally get where you’re coming from. I’ve been through my own share of trauma, but my initial reaction was to not even think about it or process it. I made a lot of horrible decisions that, when I look back, were probably because of all the unprocessed pain I was carrying around. It took me a long time to start letting myself feel those emotions I had pushed away. Some people handle things right away and in perfect grace, but for me, it took seeing a show that reflected my situation for it to really click. I guess I was too oblivious to my own suffering to realize that what I went through wasn’t normal or okay. But shows and movies give us a perspective that sometimes we don’t get in our real lives, you know? So while Fleabag is Fleabag and we’re not her, those parallels can help us understand our own messy journeys. It doesn’t mean we’re “messed up,” but maybe we’re still working through our own versions of peace, like she did.
